Well, here we are again, now with eight years in the can. Seemed like a pretty solid year for the site overall. Three translations, two of them for lengthy story-driven games, is certainly an improvement over the zero I managed in 2024. Indeed, it appears that I personally translated 363k moji this last year, which is a pretty big number for a guy who's really just supposed to be doing the programming for these things. You could take that as a sign of success, but unfortunately, it's probably just a sign that I'm terrible at making friends to share the workload. Still, there are certainly worse things in the world.

I used to make a habit of thanking everyone I've worked with over the last year in these messages, but these days, that's mostly just the same old suspects who (I hope) know I appreciate them well enough that calling it out would feel kind of weird. So instead, thanks to all of you who've taken the time to play the projects I've worked on this year. I'm so grateful, I won't even complain that you didn't play The Blue Crystal Rod. (Trust me, nobody played that one. It probably falls squarely into the "more interesting to translate than to actually play" bucket.)

Seriously, though: thanks, everybody. I'd have given up on this long ago if you weren't around to make it worth the while. Hope I'll be able to keep things going. I mean, what would the world come to without all these translations of stupid old video games?
